" Overview
House Network Ltd are pleased to offer this semi-detached house built c1945 in the popular Nevill location. Benefits from far-reaching views over Lewes and downland and within 100 metres of the entrance to the national park and beautiful downland walks. The property is within easy walking distance of two good local shops and Wallands primary school. The property is a twenty minute walk from the centre of Lewes, with a wealth of amenities including restaurants, three superstores and train station (London Victoria 1 hour). A contemporary property with accommodation comprising 3 double bedrooms, family bathroom, kitchen/family/dining room, ground floor toilet. Attractive front garden with off road parking and mature 70ft south-east facing garden to the rear. The property benefits from renovations carried out in 2013 including new kitchen, boiler, UPVC windows and French doors.

This stylish property has been tastefully modernised throughout. An abundance of space and light greet you as you enter the contemporary family room. Here, an expanse of quality wood flooring and pristine white walls run the entire length of the property to meet with the huge windows at the back of the house. The open plan kitchen is smart and spacious incorporating a selection of contemporary fittings and clever storage solutions with integrated appliances and solid white granite worktops. Off the kitchen are the downstairs cloakroom and a utility area providing additional storage under the stairs. Upstairs, exposed original wooden flooring throughout compliments the natural feel of this property.
There are fine views stretching across Sussex downland from the rear bedroom whilst the front bedroom enjoys aspects across the top of the downs to nearby Black Cap and the old Lewes racecourse. The third ground floor bedroom offers privacy from the others and a double aspect. Large glass doors at the rear of the living room meet a newly laid decking area which seems to extend directly from the interior space. The generous rear garden stretches down before you over an area mostly laid to lawn with a wide variety of well established plants and shrubs, including apple trees and a silver birch coppice. The rear garden retains access via a pathway running along the side of the property.
To the front a box-hedge circles a bay tree set amongst a nice selection of perennial plants with off road parking.

Possessing of recently acquired National Park status the South Downs make up England's newest recognised area of outstanding natural beauty. Sitting at the heart of the national park is the historic county town of Lewes over which this property commands expansive and spectacular views across the Ouse Valley all the way out to Newhaven Harbour and sea beyond.
Occupying an enviable elevated position 61 Firle Crescent backs onto open downland with public right of way where sheep and cattle graze and horses are exercised daily along the gallops of the old racecourse, and often pass by the house itself.
The Nevill is of particular historic significance occupying the ancient battleground of the Battle of Lewes where Simon de Montfort's defeat of King Henry III in 1264 paved the way for the establishment of parliamentary democracy. The area has a strong tradition of celebrating bonfire night and the local Society processes right in front of the house in the Children's celebration each year.

Lewes offers a highly regarded selection of state and private schools including Wallands Primary (5 mins walk), Lewes Old Grammar School- LOGS (10 mins walk) and Lewes Priory (15 mins), all of which Ofsted have called very good or excellent. Two buses per hour stop outside the property to take you down to the market town of Lewes (8 mins) where the local train station provides access to London Victoria (1 hour) and Brighton (15 mins), buses run from Lewes to Brighton (20 Mins), Uckfield (30 Mins) and Tunbridge Wells (1 Hour).

With ample opportunity and scope for further development into a 5 bedroom dwelling it is thought this property could realise still more breathtaking views over the Sussex Downs by way of loft conversion for which the adjoining neighbour has already set precedent.

A viewing of this property is essential.
